Painting bunting

This is the bird I was really hoping to photograph. It is a painted bunting, and while I didn't capture it in flight, I was happy with this portrait. The buntings migrate for the winter mostly to Central America and the Caribbean, and they start to return to south Texas mid-April. I timed this photo workshop in the hope we'd be able to photograph some of them because they are so colorful. I thought about using Photoshop to blur the background more than it is, but in the end I decided to leave it unmanipulated. My settings were 1/1600, f/10, and 1000 ISO. I used a 500mm focal length plus a 1.4x teleconverter giving me 700mm of focal length. Note that with this combination of optics, the maximum aperture is f/10. Buntings are small birds, and I needed the extra glass to make it fill a significant part of the frame. The bunting was taking a bath in the small pool of water right in front of our blind.
